is parallel file system in this scope, or it is the requirement you
have for cluster OS? what would be the advantage of designing a new
one compared to the current and existing one, considering the
advantage of the dfly kernel for SSI os to other kernel? put in
another way, is a new fs that will take advantage of the kernel
advantage superior to others,  from what we can predict now.

even too much questions, hope they are all relevant.
